Question

Mention 5 differences between osmosis and Diffusion ; adenosine monophosphate

Answer 1

$\huge \text {Answer -}$

$\large \textbf {Osmosis-}$

-Water also follows the law of diffusion.

-The spontaneous movement of water molecules through a selective permeable membrane is called osmosis.

-The movement of water across the plasma membrane of the cell is affected by the amount of substance dissolved in water.

-Thus, osmosis in the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.

-Osmosis is purely a mechanical diffusion process by which cells absorbs water without spending any amount of energy.

$\large \textbf {Diffusion -}$

-Some substances (molecules, ions) such as carbon dioxide $\textbf {(CO_2)}$, oxygen $\textbf {(O_2)}$, water, etc.

-It can move across the plasma membrane through a process called diffusion.

-These substances are of very small, size, so, they diffuse readily through the phospholipid layer of the plasma membrane.

-Thus, diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules from a region of high concentration is finally achieved.

-Diffusion is faster in the gaseous phase than in liquids and solids.

$\large \textbf {ATP-}$

-ATP stands for the organic compound adenosine triphosphate.

-ATP is generally known as energy carrier or energy currency of the cell.

-It is a common cellular fuel, i.e, it is used to drive numerous energy - requiring processes of the cell.
